The National Television Awards – Live!
7.30pm, ITV
Unlike the mysterious academies that anoint the winners in awards season, the public-voted National TV Awards celebrate what everyone actually likes: comfort-food drama and reality-TV nonsense. Benedict Cumberbatch faces down Sarah Lancashire and Smiths Maggie and Sheridan in the big acting award, while Danny Dyer gets a nod for serial drama. There’s even a TV judge category, with Mary Berry potentially trampling on Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and David Walliams. Ben Beaumont-Thomas
Pets – Wild at Heart
8pm, BBC1
The makers of Penguins: Spy in the Huddle – in which hidden cameras lifted the lid on penguin behaviour – enter the world of pets to see how they’ve retained their wild instincts despite hundreds of years of domesticity. There are minicam-carrying dogs, with thermal imaging and x-rays to document exactly what our furry chums get up to when we’re not looking. And, in the case of one amazing talking budgie that can quote Star Wars, when we are looking, too. Ben Arnold
Wolf Hall
9pm, BBC2
Auntie’s much-anticipated adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s novels of Tudor court intrigue finally arrives on our screens. And from the moment we see Jonathan Pryce’s exhausted Cardinal Wolsey, struggling in the wake of losing Henry VIII’s favour (“These days, 24 hours feels like a victory”), it’s clear this is something special. That’s never truer than when the camera settles on Mark Rylance. As Thomas Cromwell, Wolsey’s protege trying to survive his patron’s fall from grace, he combines defiance, intelligence and repressed vulnerability. Jonathan Wright
Up the Women
10.05pm, BBC2
A return for Jessica Hynes’s 1910-set suffragette comedy. The Banbury craft circle is purportedly on hunger strike in solidarity with their feminist sisters, though Gwen’s overflowing cheese basket is proving too tempting for them all. For young Emily, there is the possibility of a betrothal to hunky Bertie Smuth, heir to a spoon-manufacturing dynasty – much to the dismay of her weak-wristed would-be lover, Thomas. The gag rate is excellent, with some stellar jokes along the way. Bim Adewunmi
Insane Fight Club 2
10.35pm, BBC Scotland
Last year’s Insane Fight Club told the engaging story of local boy Grado and his crew of grapplers’ efforts to impress Glasgow with their own take on modern wrestling. This follow-up doc sees the boys on a tour of England, with promotional efforts including a spray tan with the Geordie Shore chaps. Grado’s now an actor as well as a wrestler, while heavyweight Jack Jester faces a bout with WWE star Drew Galloway. Once again, the contrast between their escapades in the ring and their struggles outside of it is comic and touching. David Stubbs
The Fanatics
8pm, Sky1
Baz Ashmawy, star of the charming travelogue 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy, here takes on a rather more prosaic gameshow-hosting gig. The Fanatics is the specialist-subject round of Mastermind, but with picture and blindfold elements and a significantly gaudier set. Tonight’s instalment sees a football fan, a comic-book devotee and a space-flight buff attempting to win a prize of their choosing. A repeat of the Florida episode of 50 Ways, in which Baz and his mum encounter rollercoasters and alligators, follows. Gwilym Mumford
European Tour Golf: The Qatar Masters
6.30am, Sky Sports 4
Live coverage of the opening day of the 18th Qatar Masters from Doha Golf Club. Despite the location, the Qatar Masters is officially part of the European Tour, and a predictably lavish prize fund attracts a rarefied field. Among those competing for $2.5m (£1.65m) in prize money and the competition’s riotously kitsch Mother of Pearl trophy are the previous four champions: Sergío Garcia, Chris Wood, Paul Lawrie and Thomas Bjørn.
